Pippin, but that would require a sex change. Ah! C'est la vie!

Yuck.

I'd probably chose to be one of the nameless Dunedain. Wait, do you mean the books, or the movie? In the books, it would be the Dunedain. In the movie? Agh! Probably either Aragorn or Boromir. Faramir? That'd be a tough one.

Then I suppose it would be a combination of the two. To play a brave soldier who does not get a lot of heavy focus.

That's why I would want to play Aragorn. He says a lot of good stuff too. Besides, I would be the Hero.

I'd want to play a guy, because they get cooler parts than the girls. The girls all have the whole "Lets stay home and take care of the house while our menfolk save the world" (with some obvious exceptions).

I'd like playing maybe Forlong, or the archers (I haven't got my book with me to remember the names) who were killed shooting out the eyes of an oliphaunt. What's better than a really cool death scene? If I got to be Forlong, I'd get to lead tons of troops to Minas Tirith, and so have an excellent introduction, and then I'd die in battle, unhorsed and completely surrounded by enemies, until I was hewn down with an axe.

Actually, I might change my mind about the girl parts, as long as if I could be Galadriel, Celeborn and I could lead our troops into Mirkwood and clear out Dol Goldur. Can you picture if they'd included that in the movies? Having the assaults on Lothlorien and then all of the Elves eventually coming out to kick some serious butt? That's possibly my favorite part of the Appendices, and its only about a paragraph long.

I don't think the women's rights' movement has happened yet in middle earth. But, you should not forget what Eowyn did, for, no man could kill the leader of the ringwrights... and Galadriel, and Arwen... i'm not being rude, or too femininistic, i just thought you might like to be re-informed. and it is not kind to label, though you are speaking your opinion. and i repect that. blessed be, THE Ka.
